Meryl Comer talked about her book, Slow Dancing with a Stranger: Lost and Found in the Age of Alzheimer’s, in which she reports on the effects of Alzheimer’s, the degenerative brain disease that affects 5.4 million Americans and 44 million people globally. In the book, the author recounts her husband’s diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 58 and the two decades of care she provided for him from their home. The author reported that two-thirds of Alzheimer’s patients were women and that three-fourths of care is provided by family members in their homes. Meryl Comer spoke at Politics and Prose Bookstore in Washington, D.C.
